NEOH in collaboration with our German partners from the University of Bonn are organising a summer school ONE HEALTH AND SUSTAINABILITY, from the 17-20 September 2018 in Bonn, Germany. The summer school will link directly to the international congress on One Health & Food Safety. NEOH members will provide an overview of the NEOH tools and approaches developed and provide training on how to use the tools. Moreover, we will organise a session to discuss the economics of One Health.

Integrated approaches to health

A handbook for the evaluation of One Health

edited by: Simon R. Rüegg, Barbara Häsler and Jakob Zinsstag

One Health addresses health challenges arising from the intertwined spheres of humans, animals

and ecosystems. This handbook is the product of an interdisciplinary effort to provide sciencebased

guidance for the evaluation of One Health and other integrated approaches to health. It

guides the reader through a systems approach and framework to evaluate such approaches in a

standardised way. It provides an overview of concepts and metrics from health and life sciences,

social sciences, economics, and ecology that are relevant for the evaluation of the processes

involved, as well as the characterisation of expected and unexpected outcomes of One Health

initiatives. Finally, the handbook provides guidance and practical protocols to help plan and

implement evaluations in order to generate new insights and provide meaningful information

about the value of One Health.

The handbook is intended for practitioners, researchers, evaluators as well as funders of integrated

approaches to health and beyond.

1. Many of you have completed a questionnaire from the NEOH Phase 2 working group asking you about activities that would be useful to people working in One Health, Ecohealth and related fields. The purpose of the questionnaire was to identify useful activities that a new European One Health/Ecohealth organization could focus its efforts on.  It is our goal that the new organization should be valued by its members and useful to people working in One Health/Ecohealth. We received many very good suggestions for activities and we sincerely thank you for taking the time to share your suggestions with us. However, there were more activities suggested than are possible for a new organization to engage in. For this reason, we are asking you to help us one more time by ranking the suggested activities by their importance. We have grouped similar activities together and created a questionnaire to make ranking the activities within each group easy for you. We cordially invite you to complete the questionnaire. It is quite short and should not take more than 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Please click on this link to open the questionnaire: http://www.vphibern.ch/limesurvey/index.php/248852?lang=en The questionnaire will close on August 24, 2018. If you have any questions about this questionnaire please send an email to: john.berezowski@vetsuisse.unibe.ch
